Thanks to a quick-thinking mother and daughter who stayed with him and called for help, Frank received emergency treatment and survived, though he’s now battling a deadly colon infection. This isn’t an isolated case: horses in the area have repeatedly fallen ill from discarded food like chicken bones and Brussels sprouts. Julie Kershaw, Frank’s owner, is furious at the ignorance of visitors who don’t realize even “safe” treats like apples and carrots can be lethal in large quantities. With more people flocking to the area since the pandemic, she warns that well-meaning gestures can have devastating consequences—and a simple Google search could save lives.
